Are you smothering your nails with polish? Relax – your fingernails and toenails don’t need to “breathe.”
According to celebrity manicurist Kim D’Amato, your nails are basically already dead and don’t require oxygen. However, letting them breathe is not a bad idea. Nail do get yellow and discolored from the pigment in the polish. Leaving them naked for a few days in between manicures is a good idea to keep them looking healthy and pink. Treat them to buffing and some conditioning oil in between polishing to nourish the nail beds and cuticles which are alive.
